The area (in sq. units) bounded by the parabola y2 = 8x and the line x = 2 is
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
y2 = 8x
so $y = 2\sqrt{2}\sqrt{x}$
x > 2 area in 1st quadrant = area of 4th quadrant
⇒ area in 1st quadrant × 2
$=2 \times \int\limits_0^2 2 \sqrt{2} \sqrt{x} d x$
$=4 \sqrt{2}\left[\frac{2 x^{3 / 2}}{3}\right]_0^2=\frac{4 \sqrt{2} \times 2 \times 2 \sqrt{2}}{3}$
⇒ $\frac{32}{3}$ sq. units
